Evidence detail

Target: permission issued, 2026

Expected NRC approval of the nuclear reactor (as of June 2025)

A stated target, not something that has happened. It does not set a state. Targets can move; earlier and later ones are both kept.

“The company began non-nuclear construction activities on the site of the first plant last year and expects regulatory approval for the nuclear reactor next year.”
